Slightly disappointed by the acting wins for Harry Potter. Nothing against Boyle and Dumezweni, but I much preferred both of their "Glass Menagerie" competitors, Brian J. Smith and Kate O'Flynn. I know it's all subjective, but I can't help but feel like it was a bit of a popularity contest. Or maybe I'm just bitter.

Does seem a bit strange to me that Harry Potter is consired a lead role and Scorpius supporting only - for me Scorpius and Albus were the leads. But either way I'm pleased for Anthony Boyle and Jamie Parker. It's nice to see the play being artistically recognized and not just dismissed as entertainment for the unwashed masses.

Haha! If anyone ever wanted proof that the Oliviers have no credibility whatsoever and shouldn't ever be taken seriously, this year is it. Ridic.

Ok, I'm sorry, but now I'm even more inclined to call this a popularity contest. I actually really enjoyed Jamie Parker's performance in Harry Potter, and totally think he deserved his nomination spot. But the fact that he won is utterly ridiculous. Personally, I think every single other actor in that category gave a far more memorable performance than he did. I could MAYBE accept that he beat Tom Hollander, but McKellen and Harris were far, far better than Parker, in my opinion.

Harry Potter is effectively the panto equivalent of a play I didn't have that much against it It is okay But those I took were not particularly impressed and found it overlong repetitive and tedious It can and will also be recast ad Infinitum So ones wonders if the updated cast will be nominated every year |

I don't think it was anything amazing Nothing life changing Found the Hilary Mantel plays more exciting and better acted HP is for simpletons |
